Right now we just switch inputs to the computer between cam1 cam2 and the FMS.
While I wasn't at Duel, the live scoring in offseason events should be a bit more accurate as they seem to be using humans manually doing the live scoring via laptops behind the driver stations. Of course the score is still subject to change at the end of the match after manually counting disks, but they were generally accurate at Midknight Mayhem where I was scorekeeper.

As far as doing the live score overlay, you'll need a video mixer that can do chroma-key. FMS can be set to use any color as the chroma-key so that the video feed can be overlayed. If you want more details I'd suggest talking to Frank Larkin of 272, he spec'd and purchased the MAR video equipment.
